So this thread is one of a series?
Have you not read Zeez's many, many threads on Athena? Or his recent threads on writing scripture and choosing an as-yet-untranslated text to play with? I believe it was Kish who suggested Zeez take a look at the Phaistos Disc. I suggested the Voynich Manuscript.
In other words, yes it is one of a series, but everyone's posts are in some sense "one of a series." In other words, you should interpret what people write by what they have written before and not look at each post in a hermeneutic vacuum.

I must've missed those.

I recall skimming over something like that, but I didn't follow the whole thread.

I missed those, too.

In that case, it's too bad I missed the first installations in zeezrom's series.
Zeezrom, the next time you continue with a certain theme begun earlier, would you be so kind as to include a note to that effect?
"Finally, for your rather strange idea that miracles are somehow linked to the amount of gay sexual gratification that is taking place would require that primitive Christianity was launched by gay sex, would it not?"

Why? Even if I hadn't read earlier threads by zeez on writing scripture I could have made sense out of this thread because I've read Zeezrom before and I 'know" him. Seriously, Shades, I think this is another instance of your looking at things outside of any context. It is similar to things I've said to you before about "missing cues."

I'm not as good as you. He talked about using some instrument to translate the Phaistos Disk. Not having remembered his former thread about making up some fake scripture, I took him at his word.

I'll make you a deal: As long as a cue is provided--like a cue from zeezrom that it's one of a series--then I promise not to miss it.
Deal?

Dude! Prophesying and translating scripture? You are full-on, authentically apostate now!
